Desert Strike has slipped back to a winning mark and has a decent draw but Wolverhampton winner Annie Salts will need to find more if she is to follow up from stall nine. Hot Stuff landed a maiden over course and distance at the start of the month but was a little fortunate to hold on and is hardly unexposed having already raced 14 times. MOSSGO (NAP) hasn’t raced in this lowly grade since the summer of 2015 when he beat Pharoh Jake over track and trip. He’s only a pound higher today and course win number six looks on the cards. Picansort is another who excels on this track and he should also be thereabouts.
